A recent global poll has revealed that a significant majority of respondents are urging the United States to collaborate more closely with China on trade issues. The survey, conducted across multiple languages and regions, highlights a growing call for cooperation over confrontation between the world’s two largest economies.
The dialogue between China and the United States has recently shown promising signs, leading to cautious optimism about the prospects of their economic and trade consultations. According to the poll, many believe that constructive engagement sends a positive signal for the implementation of consensus reached by leaders of both countries and eases existing trade tensions.
As complementary economic powers—one being the largest developing country and the other a leading developed nation—China and the U.S. have long benefited from mutual trade relations. The poll indicates that 71% of respondents agree that the essence of China-U.S. economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.
Furthermore, a substantial 85% believe that strengthening economic and trade cooperation not only fosters development for both nations but also ensures stability in the global industrial and supply chains. The healthy and stable development of these relations is seen as a significant contributor to global economic growth.
The survey also sheds light on perceptions regarding trade imbalances. A majority of respondents suggest that the U.S. trade deficit in goods is largely due to its own economic structure and the international division of labor. They call for the U.S. to reconsider negative measures implemented against China, advocating for immediate and unconditional withdrawal.
Notably, 64% of participants believe that through equal consultation and practical cooperation, China and the United States can find mutually beneficial solutions to their trade disputes. The overall sentiment underscores a global desire for collaborative efforts rather than friction.
The poll, released on multiple platforms and languages, garnered over 5,000 participants within 24 hours, reflecting widespread interest and engagement on this critical issue.
